115th season in existence of Manchester City F.C.
Manchester City 2016–17 football season
The 2016–17 season was Manchester City Football Club 's 115th season of competitive football , 88th season in the top flight of English football and 20th season in the Premier League .[ 1] league , the club also competed in the UEFA Champions League (for the sixth year in a row), FA Cup and League Cup . The season covered the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.
In conjunction with the recruitment of Pep Guardiola ,[ 2] [ 3]
On 15 October 2015, the club announced that they intended to enter into a consultation with their fans over the designing of a new badge to replace the design that had been brought in 1997 and which had largely been unpopular since.[ 4] City Football Group teams Melbourne City FC and New York City FC . While many praised the logo for its simplicity and similarity to the beloved previous design, it was criticised from other corners for its slightly amateurish appearance, its removal of the words "Football Club" and for its failure to more closely replicate the earlier badge.[ 5]
On 30 June 2016, the club unexpectedly announced the renaming of their Twitter accounts and website. Replacing the old "branding" of MCFC (the initials of the club), both social media outlets were rechristened "ManCity". While the move was popular among many, especially the club's more recent foreign fans for whom the styling was already their preferred abbreviation of the club's name, the change provoked another mixed reaction from the Manchester-based core supporter base, with many criticising the decision to use a wording often used by the club's rivals, as well as highlighting the decision to again remove the "Football Club" wording.[ 6]
Friendlies
Pre-season
On 20 July 2016, Manchester City began their pre-season with a 0–1 defeat against Bayern Munich . Due to bad weather during the International Champions Cup, the derby against Manchester United was cancelled, and City went on to play Borussia Dortmund in their next cup match, which they would go on to win 6–5 on penalties after drawing 1–1 at the end of regular time. A match was played on 7 August against Arsenal in the 2016 Supermatchen, which ended 3–2 to Arsenal. To replace the game against Manchester United, which was cancelled, City arranged a friendly against St Johnstone , which was played behind closed doors.
